David Hasselhoff Calls Welsh People 'Hobbits'
Former Baywatch star describes wife's home country as 'land of Hobbits'...
David Hasselhoff has risked the ire of the Welsh after making jokey comments about the country on a TV show.
The former Knight Rider and Baywatch star is appearing with wife Hayley on ITV's All Star Mr & Mrs - and showed a startling lack of diplomacy about the land of song.
"The first time I went to Wales I thought I landed in a land of Hobbits," he quipped.
"I went there and everybody was really small, and the houses were small and the writing was backwards."
However he was more complimentary about his missus and her family.
"Her dad helped me park and I liked him immediately - I think we’re the same age!
"Hayley has definitely changed my life for the better. And she makes me appreciate life even more. She's 'it'."
The 61-year-old star later attempted to backtrack over his comments on social media.
Mmm, jump in my car, it's too far to walk on your ow-own
No thank you sir-ir
Ah, c'mon, I'm a trustworthy guy
No thank you sir-ir
Oh little girl I wouldn't tell you no lie
I know your ga-ame
How can you say that, we only just met
You're all the sa-ame
Ooh, she's got me there, but I'll get her yet
I got you then
No you didn't, I was catchin' my breath
And look it's startin' to rain and baby you'll catch your death
Well, I don't know-ow
Ah, come on it costs nothin' to try
And you'll arrive ho-ome nice and dry
Mmm-mmm, jump in my car, I wanna ta-ake you home
C'mon jump in my car, it's too far to walk on your ow-own
Mmm-mmm, jump in my car, I wanna ta-ake you home
C'mon jump in my car, it's way too far to walk on your ow-own
Well maybe I wi-ill
Ah, that's better now, your talkin' sense
But you better keep still
Well, if you like I'll just put up a fence
No need to get smart
Well alright we'll soon be on our way
We better start
What for?
Because it's such a long way
Why, where d'you live?
I live down south, it's roughly eighty-four miles
Hey slow down, you must be jokin' there behind that cute smile
Oh, no I'm not
Well, if you're not there's only one thing to say
And what's that?
Get out the car, get on your way
Get out of my car
But you just said that you'd take me home
Well, it's just too far
But there's no way that I can get there alone
I couldn't care less
Maybe I could see you next week
But you look a mess
But look who's talkin', you've got no right to speak
Get out of my car
You told me that you were a really nice guy
Well I aint
Get out of my car
Get out
Get out of my car
He tweeted: "What she didn't say is how much I love Wales !!! And the rugby and Swansea and Twin Town and Mwmbwls !!! And TOM And Katherine Jenkins !"
And the TV show also sees The Hoff give a touching insight on his connection with Hayley.
"She definitely has a mind of her own," he testified.
"Everybody I've ever dated has wanted to Google themselves, or have me pay and wants a big, impressive life but she's not like that. I think that's why I fell in love with her."
